Testimonials
Wonder, by Consul, is the result of our breeding in 2002. "He is 17.1 and gorgous, level headed, and well mannered. He went to his first horse show last weekend. He is a wonderful horse and we would breed to Consul again any day! Thank you.

"Whisper is amazing! I have spent time with her everyday and she is such a sweetheart. One of the girls I teach riding lessons to came out to my house to meet her today and brought her an apple as an early birthday present. She is fitting in so well with our family. ...I have wanted a warmblood for about 20 years and getting Whisper really is a dream coming true.
Our personalities are a great match; I don't think I could have found a horse any better suited for me."
Whisper is by Consul x Going Places and is in foal to Riverman ISF.
Thanks again for your help

"In 1995 I bought my mare, Idora (Winston/Aphrodite) from Iron Spring Farm. She was born in 1990 at Iron Spring. Angie was her rider until I bought her at age five. Two weekends ago, I earned my gold medal in dressage on her. I rode my very first dressage test on her and now the Grand Prix. She is as sound as ever. She is a very special horse.
Thanks

"Hi Meghan, Just wanted you to know how fabulous my two Juventus babies are. The yearling is going to be exquisite and Betty P. is really going to be a beautiful mare (and a big girl). Both have the best temperaments. Vets,farriers and visitors all agree.
Thanks for the great experience. I am looking forward to our Sir Sinclair foal next year."

"Playful Polly delivered a bay Consul filly this morning! We are so delighted with her! Not only is she very pretty but was trotting in the foaling stall when she was 75 minutes old! Leslie Carter (Nightwatch's owner) had so much good to say re Consul's get's dispositions...the vet commented on her excellent conformation and particularly her legs.
We want to thank you sincerely for the very professional support you provided to us!"

"Thank you so much for allowing the Boots and Saddles to come to your farm, You have no idea how thrilled the kids were and their parents also. It was a wonderful experience and Robert was a great guide. He was good with the kids and very helpful despite all he had going on with foaling time. Again Thank you so Much. Wanda Steckley "

"Dear Sean, thank you very much for accomodating ALL of us on Sat. I appreciate the time that you took on your day off of all days to show us your horses for sale. You were so attentive and it is obvious that you take such pride in your job...we're arranging transport for the 28th. Thanks again for all of your help and assistance. It has been a pleasure working with you. "

"...earlier this year I bred my mare to Sir Sinclair. I never had the chance to get back in touch with you and tell you that I really appreciated how easy you were to work with. Even my vet was amazed at how easy it was to arrange shipment and then breed her, and she took on the first try! Although my life has taken a drastic turn after my father passed away, and I have since moved myself and my mare to Minnesota I wanted you to know that breeding my mare was the best thing to happen to me this year!
I also wondered if it were possible to request another dvd, I am very interested in UB40 for her as well"

"I want to thank you for your help with my novice attempt at breeding. I had two lovely fillies, one by Consul, and one by Rolls Royce. I could not have done it without your help and patience. The free advertising for these two fillies has been very appreciated."

"Meghan: Once again I get to let you know that another Sir Sinclair baby is on the way!...I am so pleased that the breedings went well and the support my vets received from Iron Spring Farm was excellent. Thank you again. You guys are top-notch! Keep posting those Sir babies and his show progress."

"Just wanted you to know that I had a lovely foal born Monday night (4/25)--big bay colt that I am extremely pleased with...will send a picture in a few days.
Also wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the manner in which you all deal with your clients and the services you provide. I have dealt with another couple of farms this spring in trying to breed another mare I purchased last summer and have been frustrated at times with the lack of communication as well as changes in contract agreements from the breeder's end, etc. Makes me incredibly grateful for the good experiences I have had with your farm the last several years. Thank you so much."

"Meghan: I have purchased another mare , Tenacity, that I want to breed to Sir Sinclair this season - She was the #2 two year old in North America for the keurings and received her Ster predicate as a 3 year old... I just wanted to give a "head's up" and be certain that I can still book a breeding with "Sir" for Tenacity. I hope you got the message that my other mare "Tori" was confirmed in foal to Sir last week. I am really excited about all of this! You guys are great and I am so thrilled to be expecting a Sir baby, and soon, hopefully two of them."
-Darla
"Just wanted to send a Thank You for all your help and support in the breeding of our Friesian mare, Aafke R, to Teade....Her ultrasound on Thursday confirmed that she IS in foal! I look forward to sending you the FHANA foal announcement next spring.
Thank you again for you patience in answering all my questions and helping me through the breeding process.
Hope to breed with Iron Spring Farm again next year!"

"We ended up buying Jazzmin T, a Juventus filly, and she's coming to live with us in May. Thanks to your website, we also gained a good friend in her breeder, Patti Houtchens."

"As a former manager, I know that people are quick to complain when they have something negative to say and much less forthcoming with compliments. I just wanted to take a few minutes to let you know what a good ambassador you have in Meghan and what a positive experience working with her has been for me as a new breeder. Interactions like these will keep your clients coming back again and again--of course the lovely stallions you have have a lot to do with that too;-)"
-Zydeco Farm
"I toured the farm with friends on Monday the 16th. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Everyone we met was polite, professional and helpful. Robert showed us everything we wanted to see, and gave us a terrific education in how semen is harvested, evaluated and preserved.
The horses are lovely, clearly happy creatures. The attention to detail and the remarkable amount of work was evident. The world is a better place because operations like yours exist."
-M. Jarvis MD
"Thank you for breeding my superstar Ticatto and my NEW superstar Ultra! "
-Erin S.
"Lindsay, Dancy, and Cheryl want to thank you so very much for our horse Regalo son of Consul. He has been a wonderful addition to our family since 2001. His best buddy Monte Carlo and he have traveled everywhere together and have won Champion and Year End Champion in Jumpers, Hunters and Equitation. My daughter, now at Duke, owes a part of her being excepted to her riding career. Thank you again."
-Cheryl K.
"I received your stallion DVD, and the brochures that you sent me, and let me tell you.....I cried through the whole thing. The video is flawless and your stallions are second to none !!!!! I cannot explain the feeling when I see them performing, it's like I am a little girl all over again, seeing my first horse!!"
-Bobbi
"Thanks, Meghan - I am really looking forward to a Contango foal and you answered my questions so thoroughly and professionally. Trust me - that is a treat! I will pass your information on to the vet and I will call to see about a longer loan on the tank. Thank you for making things "easy"!"
-Peggy H.
"Hi Megan et al
Thanks for your prompt work, semen got there Saturday as promised. ...You and SBS are very professional and easy to work with, my friend and importer Jan Anderson from Stillwater MN is going to contact you about breeding to Herbie, she has an older model and young star mare. I hear a rumor that you have bought Heinse. Is that true? I'm thinking ahead already."
-Paul A.
"I have a Consul youngster who is coming 3 and have been very happy with him. Your help and kindness have been greatly appreciated."
-Patti H.
"Meghan,
Just wanted you to know that the "above and beyond the call of duty" shipment that you made to our vet on 7/14 was worth the hassle. The mare was checked in foal today. (Our vet called as the FedEx truck pulled into your farm and you split up a shipment you had already packaged for someone else.)
Thanks for going the extra mile. It's much appreciated."
-Judi K
"We greatly appreciate the services offered by Iron Spring Farm. Because of these services, we have received inquires about our horses from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The staff at Iron spring farm is courteous, enthusiastic, and timely. Special thanks to Mary Alice Malone and her vision."
